Latest reviews of On Call Principles & Protocols app for iPhone and iPad
One issue that I have is that you arent able to select the text and copy it. This is important being that when I am on-call, there are times in which I will email instructions. I believe this app could be used by any health professional, who has the duty of being on-call. MD, PA, NP, RN can all benefit from this app. A bit pricy. You can get the ebook for much less. However, if the add the feature of allowing you to copy the text, so you can output it to an email, then it is worth every cent. This app can save lives and give you the peace of mind when you get that call and you have the tools at your fingertips to evaluate, assess and direct potential life threatening emergencies. It can give you a better piece of mind that you covered every aspect.
I wouldnt recommend this app. Too many links, and not straight to the point. it does have the mgmt part, but you have to look for it on the links... And there are many links. I think the creator of this app took stuff from "Current Diagnosis" , looks the same. Save your money. I was stupid to have bough the app..
